Mar 18, 2020 Manchester NH Fire has been using TG 10017 Tac 8 for a few days now as a COVID related operations channel, in the clear. They also had made reference to using the Police Encrypted Command Channel, Talk Group unknown. This most likely for their secure mobile testing locations / sensitive...

Interesting the openness of the radio traffic this afternoon.

Giving full names of victims and complainants by name is often not the case in my listening experience.

As of Saturday March 14, 2020, they are still in the 99% clear, however normal routine dispatch traffic switched the beginning of the week to Tac-3.

I am still trying to verify some of the other UHF links out of MACC Base to see if they are still linked to 33.64 and / or 154.0775.

That particular "dispatch" was simulcast I have logged other "initial dispatches" simultaneously of both frequencies. However it is an initial or announcement simulcast dispatch, not a full time simulcast.

I reported what I logged at the time I indicated by my time stamp.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY NH FIRE Nottingham & Raymond Raymond NH 154.190 S PL 136.5 self - (Always self dispatch) Preceded by "Is this frequency clear" 01/14/2020 @ 17:35 Nottingham NH 154.190 S PL 136.5 self - (Self dispatch only for purposes of announcement) Preceded by "Is this frequency clear" 01/14/20...

SULLIVAN COUNTY (NH) FIRE:
Sunapee 154.4450 R 114.8 DB: New London
Heard during local announcements 01/14/2020 @ 18:05

Simulcast on 154.995 R 136.5 (New London)
The New London transmitter was full scale, the Sunapee transmission didn't even move the needle.

01/14/2020
Manchester NH Fire TG 10021 - Updated/new verification

Dispatch and technicians communicating about testing fire alarm circuits and boxes.

(Also logged about 5 weeks ago).

The 452 link has gone away with the transition to P25 and the now repeaterized setup on 154.175.

My understanding is there is near zero chance Chester or Auburn will put up any money to go digital.

Windham input frequency has been logged in the 158-161 range. Happy hunting. We will not publish the exact frequency.

Derry FAO just announced Windham fire signing off Derry frequency and onto their own 154.175 P25 freq effective immediately 1/8/2020 - 13:55

Testing on 154.175 P25 NAC 907 >> Windham

Since the beginning of the week Derry NH fire on 153.995 P25 NAC 827 has been using the "Derry" in their transmissions. Such as "Derry Engine 3 responding" instead of just "Engine 3 responding" It appears Windham fire, either temporary (I suspect) or longer (I doubt) is now using the Derry frequency...

I am not that savvy at this either, but my first guess would be GPS/location data in those data bursts.

Maine makes sense. The exit references are all northbound or southbound. Also, it appears to be slot 2 during transmissions with a very brief slot 1 showing up at end of transmission. This thread should be moved to the Maine forum. Just heard mention of disabled p/u truck needing a tow to South Paris.

151.670 DMR - CC6 - Slot 1 TalkGroup 30 - Mass State Highway road patrol ??

Mention of disabled vehicle by exit 40 - Trash in road by exit 51 -
Weather / road conditions given from units at exit 48 and 63.

I would call this Talk Group "City Parking Lots and Sidewalks - Snow Removal"

They were doing school parking lots, public parking lots, city building parking lots and the Main Street sidewalks.

12/30/2019 - Nashua NH 800 TG 2045 I have it listed as UNKNOWN It almost sounded as if somebody was getting training on how to clear snow around city properties - Town bus transfer station, clearing paths with a small blade vehicle, etc...
